I mean it's not an insurmountable problem though. As long as likes and RTs are tied to a specific version of a Tweet and you can see the edits and associated likes it's fine.
> - impossible to put an image into a clipboard (so that user can e.g. paste it outside a browser)

That's a feature. Websites should not have access to my clipboard.

> - no PWA mode (impossible to put an icon of a website to your homescreen, which will open the website without a browser UI)

That's a feature. Icons on my home screen should only ever be native applications. Use bookmarks for websites instead.

> - impossible to have keyboard shortcuts with Alt https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1568130

Just build a native app. It's literally what you want.
As someone who lives in a big city I have a variety social contacts with various politics beliefs ranging from left to right and not caring about politics to caring too much. Many right leaning votes live in cities at least 20% in any region and many left leaning rural voters exist at least 20%.
Because enough people think making laws restricting companies in any way prevents "innovation". Corporations should be able to do whatever they want because if they were truly bad, they would just go out of business, right? It's the worldview of a third grader.
The current running geoengineering ideas are more on remove the incoming energy. Like Gates cloud production investments.

For everyone debating the meaning of “robota” in Czech I am a native speaker and I can confirm this wiktionary entry is accurate:

I can also recommend reading the original play R.U.R., it’s quite short (and groundbreaking).

You can trivially find the sort of investments and projects Shell is working towards...they are heavily involved in offshore wind for electricity and green hydrogen. That they would be buying up EV charging in order to dismantle it can be dismissed outright.

Every time I see one of these, I try to switch from the beta version to the stable version. I download the latest stable version, quit my browser, copy it to my applications folder, double-click, accept the warning that I'm running new software downloaded from the internet, and find myself in the next beta version.

Is there a way to switch from beta to stable without losing my profile?

>When Firefox autoupdate, it won’t let you open a new tab to browse elsewhere.

There must be some additional context here. I've never observed this behavior on Windows or on Linux (although on Linux I'm using an LTS release, which could be a confounding factor).
You haven’t read Hacker News then...
As long as RTs and likes are tied to a specific version of the Tweet then it's no real problem.
Indices are going up because people are putting money into the market(s), and governments (legislatures and central banks) are printing money in order to prevent market collapse, because that'd mean liquidation events, meaning every mark-to-market asset will suddenly worth nothing, every company will become toxic overnight, banks will (have to) stop funding companies, companies will cut costs (fire everybody, stop every kind of project/investment/capex), and everyone will try to sell things to make cash to pay back debt, which can start a deflation spiral.

The asset bubble is an unintended consequence, it's the "lesser evil". But it's again the rich get richer.
Wouldn’t sharding generally result in overlap between the key ranges so that a database shard going down doesn’t have to result in any downtime?

Then your issue is replication of writes I suppose. Probably depends on use case what configuration you choose.
The actresses in Mignonnes aren't young-looking adults. They're actually children.

The controversy exists (yes, even in France,) because it was unnecessary for Doucoure to sexualize children in order to decry the sexualization of children.
With satellite TV in the 90s, some channels simply blacked out or showed a placeholder in the ad slots -- sometimes the satellite channels were the very feeds that the TV stations were using.

Premium channels would fill the gaps between shows with advertisements for upcoming shows on the same channel or affiliated channels. Coming from broadcast TV, networks like HBO were kind of incredible; no ads, just the thing you went there to watch.

By then, however, the non-premium channels definitely carried ads.
How do you know user-agent strings of HNers? My guess would be that FF has above-average usage here, with FF topics getting upvotes regularly.

Hmm, come to think of it, does anybody know an easy Chrome-blocking trick for displaying "this page is best viewed using FF"? Might be an effective deterrent for non-"hackers" and the start of forking the web for good.
REI is a "co-op" but a consumer co-op. This is VERY different unfortunately...yeh a bit confusing I know.

They aren't a worker owned co-op so that means they face the same economic pressures as any traditional investor owned business. They lack most of the amazing aspects of a worker owned co-op that I mentioned.
Sack, Fall, Conquer, they pretty much amount to the same thing. Maybe the article should have used the term "Sack", but then if you google around it's also known as the "Fall" or the "Siege".
>It’s easier than ever to save and access your bookmarks. Firefox now remembers your preferred location for saved bookmarks, displays the bookmarks toolbar by default on new tabs, and gives you easy access to all of your bookmarks via a toolbar folder.

I don't see a lot of use of Bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and other bookmarks when there can be simply bookmarks and other bookmarks like Chrome. Bookmark toolbar makes menu utterly useless. I would rather have toolbar and an extension that displays those bookmarks toolbar in a similar way as menu to avoid added cognitive load.
I read somewhere that the network was trying to create a new Mad Men, which fits a lot with the way Joe McMillian is portrayed. Thank god they went the other way: The drama was much better with the more relatable characters (the two female leads especially), and the technological narrative ended up more interesting without a Don Draper-like messianic figure involved.

Don’t know about FB in particular, but decisions like these are usually made by overworked minimum wage employees who don’t care about the business outcomes, just need good enough metrics (reviews/sec) to not get fired.

TIL robotnik is more than a cool-sounding video-game character name.
I’m on a MacBook Pro with a discrete graphics card. YouTube never performs well for me on Firefox. It takes time to buffer the video when I skip ahead or back. And that’s with me being on Fiber internet. Same goes for Gmail. It takes longer to load emails. It’s minor annoyances that add up. For some reason, Chrome always works better whenever I switch the applications.

There’s a good chance my MacBook is not supported properly for Firefox as I’ve run into some internet threads about. But at this point, I’ve settled on this solution. It also makes me spend less time on YouTube once chrome is closed down and I’m solely on Firefox.
That makes more sense. Thank you for the clarification.
Furthermore, unlike many other projects, Linux is not licensed GPLv2 or later and doesn't have copyright assignment. This makes changing the license unilaterally at least problematic. Not necessarily impossible but, at least some would argue the permission of all the contributors would be required which would be basically impossible.
Not having a feature you don't like is not a feature.... Putting yourself as the arbiter for what others would want is arrogant.
All businesses are beholden to all stakeholders.

Users are stakeholders.

Just because they can do it doesn't mean they should. Nor does it mean their users have to be happy with it.

It's perfectly legal for tinder to send all your dick picks to Cambridge analytics but I doubt you'd be very happy about it.

And from the purely legal standpoint, pointing out something people don't like is legal when people are saying something should be made illegal is just gaslighting. Please just fucking stop with the "bUt mA PrIvaTe CoMpAnY" argument it's been said a million times already. We get it, its legal, what we are saying is that it shouldn't be and we would like to make it illegal.
In the UK, the BBC channels are still ad-free. Shows like The IT Crowd or Star Trek just play through continuously without ads.

Between shows, they have a short ad break advertising other BBC shows and live broadcasts that will be playing at a later time, but nothing paid.
The "viability of your hypothetical 'unpopular opinion'"?? Are you serious? You're already taking shots and focusing on my beliefs without first addressing the risk that Big Tech and its affiliates pose to merely not being censored or banned? You're the kind of person that should work at Twitter. You'll fit right in, bud.
> Are you on a Linux distro? The reason that this happens is because Firefox in Linux uses many internal libraries

It happens because Firefox closes and re-opens libraries and permits an in-place update (and thus, breaking itself).
Shards increase the number of failure modes and increase the complexity of those failure modes. For most businesses, the recommendation holds true... keep it simple, don't shard until you need.

I find it somewhat concerning that MongoDB has a better architecture for upgrades than Postgres. You add a replica to the cluster running the new major version and then switch that replica over as your primary once you've replaced enough instances in the cluster. Having worked in Oracle and MySQL for years then having switched to a company with a MongoDB framework I forgot how stressful upgrades would be with such archaic limitations.
> Did the US court system show massive fraud?

It was never heard in court. I think that's what people are upset about. If they felt it had its day in court, they would feel differently. Instead, they have the media patting their heads explaining that "it's all fine." Fraud didn't have to be proven; it simply had to be shown to have been possible. The question is whether protections were breached that keep fraud from not being possible.

Listen, I'm a "Bernie Sanders" Progressive. I didn't vote because both candidates were too conservative for me. I don't really have a horse in this race.

That said, this clip shows that the US didn't take its electoral systems seriously. Georgia hasn't applied a security patch since 2012? Really? And you and the entire media are telling me that it wasn't possible when this clip is pretty clear that it wasn't just possible but fairly easy.

It reminds me of when a blockbuster film comes out and it's a stinker, but a lot of money was dropped on it. So there's an effort to make up the opening weekend by having the media sing its praises. "'Cats' is an amazing film!" But it doesn't work. Your strategy isn't working and won't work. The only way forward is to let it have its day in court.
Type checking turns run-time errors into compile-time errors. This results in a huge improvement in code quality.

From the marketing people I worked with, I learned to always ask: "what is the reason to believe?". I don't find anything yet, it sounds too generic like "I want peace in the world" which is great, but not actionable. The "worker owned" part repeated several times sounds like a shot at communisms or kibbutz, that will drive some people away.

Is there a cultural opposition?

In my 30 years of life, I’ve never read an article, seen a TV show, watched a movie, read a book, heard a conversation, etc where the idea about wearing helmets in cars was even discussed.

I’ve never even heard a comedian joke about it.

Who is opposing this? Are you saying there’s opposition just because it’s a thing that doesn’t exist?
>The main concern seems to be whether they can make the cultural switch in management as there are quite a few "old hands" in middle management that are quite attached to the fossil fuel sector that they grew up with.

Shell has recently made some very significant restructuring and reorganizing moves so I wonder how true this still is.
For the actual type annotations themselves, the official docs are great: https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html

Maybe oil companies can survive EV. If you're selling to the same customers for the same purpose, it's a sustaining (not disruptive) technology, according to Christensen.

Though he evaluated the first iPhone as non-disruptive, so IDK.
Next steps:

- be recognized by the ONU
- ask the international postal union for a postal interconnection on their clearing platform
- ask the ITU for a telephone prefix, and a TLD
- get clearing agreements with other banks

So interesting indeed !
The thinking on efficiency vs scalability is largely influenced by the US tech company meta where founders give up equity so they don't have to worry about profitability for a very long time.

In that case, it is preferred to burn piles of cash on AWS instead of potentially needing to sacrifice revenue because you can't scale quickly enough.

An architecture that is not scalable is considered a failure whereas one that is complex and inefficient is much more tolerated (as long as it can scale out) ... at least until the funding dries up or Wall Street activists get involved.
It’s the latter, but I would describe it less as Firefox not “keeping up”, and more as Google deploying pre-standard protocols (like SPDY) into Chrome first, before ever documenting the protocol; let alone trying to get it turned into a standard (like HTTP/2.)

Chrome had SPDY support not just before any other web browser did, but before any open web server did—because Chrome had SPDY support before Google ever documented that there was such as thing as “SPDY.” It was, at first, just turned on as a special Chrome-to-Google.com accelerator, spoken only between that browser and that server, because only they knew it.

I don’t fault Google for this: they’re doing “internal” R&D with protocols, and then RFCing them if-and-when they turn out to have been a good design for at least their use-case with plenty of experimental data to confirm that. Which is exactly how the RFC process is intended to be used: spreading things that are known to work.

It’s just kind of surprising that “internal” R&D, in their case, means “billions of devices running their software are all auto-updated to speak the protocol, and start speaking it—at least to Google’s own servers—making it immediately become a non-negligible percentage of Internet packet throughput.” (Which is a troubling thing to have happen, if you’re a network equipment mfgr, and you expected to have some time while new protocols are still “nascent” to tune your switches for them.)
> NONE of the courts have even looked at the evidence this time

This is as incorrect a statement as one can possibly make. Multiple lawsuits did look at evidence (Law v. Whitmer, Bowyer v. Ducey, and King v. Whitmer, for example), and the evidence submitted was found to be far from sufficient to support the complaint.

> not just dozens, of sworn affidavits that certify that fraudulent activities were witnessed

I just don’t understand why the fixation on the number of affidavits. The quantity of affidavits is rather meaningless on its own; it’s the quality that is far more important. There’s a good reason why defendants have won despite submitting far fewer depositions and/or affidavits in relevant cases: because ultimately it’s the quality of evidence that matters, and a few high-quality depositions/affidavits are worth more than an ocean of inadmissible fluff.

> I have looked at even just some of the evidence and just alone the statistical data indicates extremely strongly that at least something was clearly wrong that would cause any good faith and rational person to at least want to look further at the data.

What analyses did you look at?

And that also begs the question: did you look further into the analyses? Because most, if not all, the ones I’ve seen tend to either fall apart as soon as one takes a closer look (e.g., 700+% turnout for a nonexistent county/township), are incomplete (Dr. Ayyadurai’s analysis), or are rather meaningless (the statistical analysis submitted in Texas v. Pennsylvania).

> how is it that of the bellwether districts that have all, for the last 10 presidential elections essentially all gone to the winning candidate … both Democrat and Republican … all but two went to Trump this time.

Because such correlation is not causation. They’ll be right right up until they aren’t.

Same thing with statements like “Republicans need Ohio to win”. There’s no inherent reason why that must be the case, so when it isn’t you can’t draw strong conclusions from that.*
While good news, it is unfortunate to know we will probably never see an actual cure. Capitalized medicine disincentivizes cures. That's why we see so many symptom treatments and vaccines -- they are far more profitable, by multiple orders of magnitude.

I use both. The extension was disabled in both browsers.
I looked because I was curious, and on both desktop and mobile, in all browsers, the site's topnav includes their Mozilla logo, a Download Firefox button, and links to a couple of other Mozilla sites about Internet Health and Donate.

I imagine they could still choose to hide the blue button when you're on Firefox, but that wouldn't save you any vertical space, since the topnav menu of links and logo would remain.

> The defence is 'I legitimately believed the election was stolen in Georgia, therefore, pressuring state officials to investigate said issues' doesn't itself constitute a crime.

You can’t kill someone because you think you are acting in self-defense. You have to actually be acting in self-defense. Moreover, pressuring officials to manufacture fake evidence, or act as if they had evidence they don’t have, surely ought to be illegal even if would have been possible to find real evidence.

I've been switching to Firefox for private use a year ago, but overall I find it not good. Weird bugs, usability issues, dev tools not that great, etc. And privacy-wise, the defaults don't seem great either. There was something about containers that are supposed to prevent tracking between different domains, but if you actively have to create containers rather than them being automatically applied on each domain, then that's not much use since it makes things cumbersome to use.
nothing is illegal if no one understands a thing
It only takes one time to die.

I read it just a few weeks ago for the first time. It was indeed quite short and entertaining.
These advertising networks are destroying web performance. Most of these "Supercookies" are optimizations to improve performance. By abusing them, advertisers have turned what should be a great performance tool into a liability. I know FF suggests this won't significantly affect most websites performance, but web advertising and trackers are already responsible for a huge chunk of performance issues already.

Of course we'll have the inevitable guy pop in here and talk up how awesome web tracking is because it helps sites monetize better, but that's all bullshit. At this point, all the advertising profits are sucked out of the web by Facebook and Google. The rest of the industry, including publishers are just struggling to get by while two trillion dollar behemoths throw them scraps.
I'm curious, where is this quote from?

While I agree with the general replies to the parent comment, it seems like the magnitude of this problem is relatively small given the staffing Twitter has who could solve it.
